May I Never Be So Jaded

Calm and gentle voice of reason,
say it's not me, not something I did,
but there is a gentle soul
impaled on a thorn,
and I have something to do
with the hurt.
Someone twisted on a hook,
that I never knew I had cast,
and now I loathe the words
that drew him to a glow
not mine to give to any.
I said it was not my right,
and he agreed so tersely.
that I felt the accusation.
It doesn't matter
that I did not mean
to leave a fresh scar,
or sign a heart
in acid ink to mark my passing.
May I never be so jaded,
that I can say,
silly man, what made you think,
or dance away
from the feeling
that I caused this
because I did not think
before I flashed
a tiny bit of firefly  glow.
